The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere exists as a result of the living things on it (such as plants and bacteria) absorbing carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen. Before life on earth, there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere.
Given that there is no life on Mars (or at least, none that we know of), the biological processes that created oxygen in Earth's atmosphere do not take place on Mars.

∙ 10y agoCO2 can be made to artificially freeze on Earth, we cal it "dry ice". However the natural, ambient temperature on the surface of the Earth is above the freezing (sublimation) temperature of CO2 and thus solid CO2 will not condense naturally out of the atmosphere of Earth.
However, the plant Mars if further away form the sun and the atmosphere is thin and cold. Thus on Mars surface temperatures at the poles are low enough for CO2 to freeze out of the Martian atmosphere.

∙ 13y agobecause it is to hot for ice on earth but on mars it is so hot ice freezes on mars even though it is hot ice is irrissatble

∙ 14y agoProbably from it's volcanoes which erupted in the distant past

∙ 14y agobecause mars is farther away from the sun than earth is.

∙ 14y agoMars has two polar ice caps that are made of frozen covered with a carbon dioxide layer.

∙ 15y agoCarbon dioxide freezes on Mar and not on Earth because it is colder on Mars and the atmospheric pressure on Mars is lower than on Earth.

What planets have carbon dioxide?
Venus Earth Mars
Which planet has the most carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars and Venus are both planets that have atmospheres composed mostly of carbon dioxide.
What planet has carbon dioxide and nitrogen in its atmosphere?
Earth, Mars and venus all have nitrogen and Carbon dioxide in their atmosphere, though the levels vary from planet to planet.
What gases surround mars?
The gases that surround the planet Mars are carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, nitrogen and argon. Carbon dioxide makes up the majority of the atmosphere of Mars.
Is there plantation on Mars?
No, as there is no oxygen, carbon dioxide or water on Mars, there is no plantation.
Why does carbon dioxide ice exists on mars and not on earth?
Mars is cold enough for carbon dioxide to solidify at its poles. Earth is too warm for dry ice.
What states carbon dioxide exists on mars?
Ice and snow
What states carbon dioxide exists in on mars?
Gas and Solid.
What planets have carbon dioxide?
Venus Earth Mars
Which planet has the most carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars and Venus are both planets that have atmospheres composed mostly of carbon dioxide.
What is the principal gas in the venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmosphere of earth and mars?
Carbon dioxide. That's not quite right because carbon dioxide is about 95% of the atmosphere of Mars.
What is half the size of earth has two moons and has a atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
The planet that is half the size of the earth, has 2 moons, and has an atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide is Mars. The average length of a day on Mars is 37 minutes longer than that of the Earth.
What solar system bodies have atmospheres containing carbon dioxide?
Venus, Earth, Mars, and Triton (Neptune's largest moon) have carbon dioxide in their atmospheres.
What percent of carbon dioxde is in Mars?
there is 30% of carbon dioxide on mars
What planet has carbon dioxide and nitrogen in its atmosphere?
Earth, Mars and venus all have nitrogen and Carbon dioxide in their atmosphere, though the levels vary from planet to planet.
Is Mars a gaseous planet or not?
No. Mars is a "terrestrial" or "earth-like" planet. Mars is mostly rocky, although there is a very thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide.
How do Earth and Mars compare?
Mars is only about half the diameter of Earth. Both are terrestrial planets and Mars has an atmosphere made primarily of carbon dioxide rather than Earth's nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere.
